Top NFL DFS picks for 49ers vs. Rams on MNFOne of Kaylor's top Week 4 Monday Night Football DFS picks is 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 2021 All-Pro is one of the most versatile, dynamic, and explosive players in the NFL and has a lengthy track record of success against the Rams. In three matchups (including the postseason) in 2021, Samuel racked up 371 total yards and four touchdowns. With the 49ers facing an early season must-win situation, Kaylor is expecting head coach Kyle Shanahan to lean heavily on his top playmaker.
"Deebo Samuel has yet to have a huge game by his standards in 2022, and I think this is the week we see it happen. Samuel has given the Rams fits in the past, catching 13 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 107 yards and two touchdowns in three matchups last season. If this game goes as I expect it to, the 49ers will be playing from behind, giving Samuel plenty of opportunity to rack up catches and yards in the second half. I'm expecting double-digit targets and upwards of 15 total touches for Samuel on Monday night," Kaylor told SportsLine. You can see the rest of Kaylor's NFL DFS picks here.
